About
2 The Orchids is a beautifully presented 4 bedroom property, built to high specification.
Situated in the sought-after village of Lower Basildon, a small development of just 4 houses located on the edge of the village.
2 The Orchids Constructed in 2015 with energy efficiency in mind and forming part of a small, select development, this beautifully presented four-bedroom family home offers generously proportioned accommodation and a high-quality fit and finish throughout.
The current owners have further enhanced the property by updating the en-suite and family bathrooms, installing bespoke fitted wardrobes, and creating bespoke under-stair storage.
The spacious kitchen/dining room opens out to the garden and features a range of integrated appliances.
There is also a living room with double doors to the garden, a study, cloakroom, and utility room.
Heating is provided via a highly efficient air source heat pump, feeding underfloor heating on the ground floor and radiators upstairs.
On the first floor, the principal bedroom enjoys lovely views and benefits from a contemporary en-suite shower room. Bedroom two is a similar size, also offering attractive views and its own en-suite.
Bedroom three is a further double, whilst bedroom four provides excellent versatility; perfectly suited as a single bedroom, it currently serves as a home gym but would also make an ideal dressing room, nursery, or dedicated study.
A stylish, recently updated family bathroom completes the first-floor layout. Outside, the property offers off-road parking for two cars and a beautifully maintained private rear garden.
